A version of Liouville's theorem is proved for solutions of some degenerate elliptic equations defined in $\mathbb{R}^n\backslash K$, where $K$ is a compact set, provided the structure of this equation and the dimension $n$ are related.…
We present solutions to the classical Liouville equation for ergodic and completely integrable systems - systems that are known to attain equilibrium. Ergodic systems are known to thermal equilibrate with a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution…
We prove a Liouville Theorem for ancient solutions of the parabolic Monge-Amp\`ere equation with smooth periodic data, generalizing Caffarelli-Li's result \cite{cl04} in 2004 to the parabolic background. To achieve this, we obtain a…
We are concerned with some extensions of the classical Liouville theorem for bounded harmonic functions to solutions of more general equations. We deal with entire solutions of periodic and almost periodic parabolic equations including the…
In this paper, we establish several Liouville type theorems for entire solutions to fractional parabolic equations. We first obtain the key ingredients needed in the proof of Liouville theorems, such as narrow region principles and maximum…
We give a short and rigorous proof of the existence and uniqueness of the solution of Liouville equation with sources, both elliptic and parabolic, on the sphere and on all higher genus compact Riemann surfaces.
Mathematical concepts and results have often been given a long history, stretching far back in time. Yet recent work in the history of mathematics has tended to focus on local topics, over a short term-scale, and on the study of ephemeral…
We revisit rescaling methods for nonlinear elliptic and parabolic problems and show that, by suitable modifications, they may be used for nonlinearities that are not scale invariant even asymptotically and whose behavior can be quite far…
In this paper, we are concerned with a Liouville-type result of the nonlinear integral equation \begin{equation*} u(x)=\overrightarrow{l}+C_*\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\frac{u(1-|u|^{2})}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}dy. \end{equation*} Here $u:…
In 1972, Alnia\c{c}ik proved that every strong Liouville number is mapped into the set of $U_m$-numbers, for any non-constant rational function with coefficients belonging to an $m$-degree number field. In this paper, we generalize this…
It is well-known that the Liouville equation of statistical mechanics is restricted to systems where the total number of particles (N) is fixed. In this paper, we show how the Liouville equation can be extended to systems where the number…
We investigate the validity of the Liouville property for a class of elliptic equations with a potential, posed on infinite graphs. Under suitable assumptions on the graph and on the potential, we prove that the unique bounded solution is…
We consider the elliptic equation $-\Delta u = u^q|\nabla u|^p$ in $\mathbb R^n$ for any $p\ge 2$ and $q>0$. We prove a Liouville-type theorem, which asserts that any positive bounded solution is constant. The proof technique is based on…
We establish Liouville type theorems in the whole space and in a half-space for parabolic problems without scale invariance. To this end, we employ two methods, respectively based on the corresponding elliptic Liouville type theorems and…
In this paper, we study the equation $\mathcal{L} u=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $\mathcal{L}$ belongs to a general class of nonlocal linear operators which may be anisotropic and nonsymmetric. We classify distributional solutions of this…
The time irreversibility problem is the dichotomy of the reversible microscopic dynamics and the irreversible macroscopic physics. This problem was considered by Boltzmann, Poincar\'e, Bogolyubov and many other authors and though some…
Liouville equation is a fundamental one in statistical mechanics. It is rooted in ensemble theory. By ensemble theory, the variation of the system's microscopic state is indicated by the moving of the phase point, and the moving trajectory…
A fundamental theorem of Liouville asserts that positive entire harmonic functions in Euclidean spaces must be constant. A remarkable Liouville-type theorem of Caffarelli-Gidas-Spruck states that positive entire solutions of $-\Delta u=u^{…
E. Maillet proved that the set of Liouville numbers is preserved under rational functions with rational coefficients. Based on this result, a problem posed by Kurt Mahler is to investigate whether there exist entire transcendental functions…
